A newly released report shows that U.S. intelligence and spy agencies have bought and stored vast amounts of information on Americans—including location, smartphone, and web browsing data—with a risk posed to their privacy and even safety.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) declassified the report and released it on June 9, following a request by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) to Avril Haines, the agency’s director.
